Chad Lowe: GOP has been 'hijacked' by 'far-right zealots'

He tweeted that 10 minutes after tweeting this:

"@TheMandyMoore: Shameful and dangerous. Republican Senate Nominee: Victims Of ‘Legitimate Rape’ Don’t Get Pregnant." http://t.co/t6W2vcOQ"

It sounds like he is reacting to the “legitimate rape” comments made by Rep. Todd Akin — comments that have been strongly criticized by many Republicans.

We like Chad Lowe, but come on.

If the Republican Party is controlled by far-right zealots, why did Mitt Romney defeat Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Sen. Rick Santorum and other conservative candidates for the GOP presidential nomination?
